Today I read an article about eliminating blind spot. They explain the method in 6 steps. It is a very good method. I appreciate them. However there is no need those steps. Why? Before explaining why, please let me share that article with you.
How to Set Rear‐View Mirrors to Eliminate Blind Spots
Edited by Josh Hannah, Bob Palin, Chris Kratsch, Barry Gaynor and 19 others
It may surprise you to learn that there is a better way to set the
rearview mirrors on your car. The quick test: if you look in your side
mirrors and you see the side of the car, then you're not using the
mirror's capacity! Essentially, most people have a huge overlap between
the center and side rearview mirrors, which is unnecessary. By spreading
your side mirrors you lose no information about what's behind you, but
gain valuable insight into what's beside you.Steps
1
Lean your head over until it
almost touches the driver's window, and then position the side mirror
on the car's left side so you can just see the rear quarterpanel (the
rear end of the car) in the mirror. Note this will have it positioned farther out than you probably had it before.
2
Lean your head to the right
to align it with the center of the car, for example, just between the 2
front seats, at your normal height. From there, position the right side mirror so you can just see the rear quarterpanel of the passenger side in the mirror.
3
Adjust the center rearview mirror to place it facing the center of the rear window.
4
While driving note that a car passing you begins in the center of your rearview mirror.
As it approaches you, it moves to the side of your center rear view
mirror, and at the same time appears in your side mirror. This shows you
that there is no rear blind spot, because there is an overlap between
the mirrors.
5
Also note that your side
mirrors now capture a tremendous additional amount of information about
what is in the lanes right next to your car. Previously you would
have to turn your head to ensure nothing was in the lanes beside your
car before changing lanes. Now, your side mirrors do a much better job
of covering this blind spot on the sides.
